Legal requirements for an mp3/music site

    Hi, I'm want to make a site for bands and musicians to sell and give out their music through my site. What are the legal requirements for a site like this? How do I stay safe from lawsuits? Are remixes of popular artists legal to sell or only download? What do I do to protect myself from getting sued. Say someone tries to sell/upload a copyrighted mp3 thats not their own, can I be held liable. Can this be added in an agreement on sign up?

    What is the best and cheapest way to do this. I live in Canada but the site will be targeted worldwide.

    I am planning on setting up a strict policing system for it also.
